Notes: Double Decoction:

*Note: Pilsner Urquell uses a triple decoction method with an initial acid rest, but I use well enough modified malts and correct for pH already so the first of three decoctions is unnecessary. The decoction measurements below are ones I developed for an electric system and err on the side of caution, so they are the lower amounts needed to potentially reach the next temperature step and direct heat can be applied to compensate.*

Perform a protein rest at 125F for 15min, then pull off slightly less than 1/3 (1.16gal/4.4L) of the thickest mash and place it in a separate pot. Bring the pot slowly up to 158F and hold for 15min, then slowly bring it up to a boil and proceed to boil for 10min. Stir often so the grains do not burn, but try to allow some 'browning' to help darken the colour and enhance the flavour/aroma profiles. Add the decoction back to the 125F mash, little by little, aiming for a beta rest temperature of 148F. Hold this temperature for 30min while adding back any leftover decoction (if any) as it cools. After this has finished, pull off roughly 1/6 (0.7gal/2.6L) of the thickest mash a second time and place it in the separate pot. Slowly bring the pot up to a boil and continue to boil for 10min. Add the second decoction back to the mash, little by little, aiming for an alpha rest temperature of 158F. Hold this temperature for 30min while adding back any leftover decoction (if any) as it cools. Once this rest has finished, raise the temperature up to a mash out rest of 167F and hold for 10min. After the decoctions and mash out are finished proceed to sparge/lauter as usual.

No Decoction:

Instead of the labour intensive double decoction mash schedule you could:

- Substitute some of the pilsner malt for vienna and/or munich to add colour and depth.
- Include some melanoidin malt for a slight decoction 'feel'.
- Add some carapils malt (or your preferred alternative) for improved head retention.
- After which, just carry out a temperature/infusion mash schedule based on your preferences.

**This beer won a national silver medal at the Saskatoon Headhunters Competition (2017) and has consistently scored 40's at other national competitions.

Notes: Next round of this I will be adding more white cocoa powder and dehusked carafa II in place of the regular carafa II.

It also needs a little bit more body, will probably mash higher next time.

Also need a little more color, would probably add a bit of chocolate malt to darken it up.

Original recipe calls for WLP002 yeast, I don't have temperature controlled fermentation, so using US05 to prevent ester runaway.

Amounts converted to meteric. Following this beer up with Partigyle American brown ale.

Notes: Add gypsum to taste. Mash 50mins at 150. Collect first runnings until wort runs clear. Collect 7 gallons and boil for 60mins. Add yeast nutrient at 10mins. Chill to 70 and pitch American Ale Yeast. Ferment at 66 and turn off temp control as fermenting slows.

Notes: This hazy double IPA was formulated to showcase the tropical and juicy aromas from BSG Hops’ Zamba™ blend and the minty and green-apple aroma notes from German Polaris hops. The grist is typical for the style, with a little boost from sucrose to increase wort gravity without adding non-fermentables or additional malt flavor. The hopping schedule and yeast strain are intended to set the stage for aroma retention and biotransformation while keeping hop bitterness in check.

Recipe creator Ashton Lewis says, “The name is also a bit odd and was inspired by the recent Great Conjunction and the use of North Star Pils ™ malt and Polaris (a.k.a. the North Star) hops.”

Ingredients:
MALTS & ADJUNCTS
6.5 lb. (2.95 kg) Rahr North Star Pils ™ Malt
3.25 lb. (1.47 kg) Rahr Red Wheat Malt
1.5 lb. (680 g) flaked oats
6 oz. (170 g) Weyermann® Acidulated Malt
1 lb. (454 g) sucrose @ 60 min
HOPS
0.5 oz. (14 g) Polaris, 20% a.a. @ 60 min (10 AAU)
0.5 oz. (14 g) Zamba™, 10% a.a. @ 60 min (5 AAU)
1 oz. (28 g) Polaris, 20% a.a., whirlpool/steep at 158˚F (70˚C) (20 AAU)
1 oz. (28 g) Zamba™, 10% a.a., whirlpool/steep at 158˚F (70˚C) (10 AAU)
1.5 oz. (42 g) Polaris, 20% a.a., dry hop at day 2 (30 AAU)
1.5 oz. (42 g) Zamba™, 10% a.a., dry hop at day 2 (15 AAU)
1.5 oz. (42 g) Polaris, 20% a.a., dry hop at day 4 (30 AAU)
1.5 oz. (42 g) Zamba™, 10% a.a., dry hop at day 4 (15 AAU)
YEAST
Fermentis SafAle K-97, Omega OYL-044 Kolsch II, or Lallemand LalBrew Köln yeast.
ADDITIONAL ITEMS
1 cup (190 g) corn sugar (if priming in bottles)
Specifications:
Original Gravity: 1.064 (15.7°P)

Final Gravity: 1.012 (3.1°P)

ABV: 7%

IBU: 35

Directions:
This recipe uses reverse osmosis (RO) water. Add 2 tsp. calcium chloride, ½ tsp. calcium sulfate (gypsum), and ¼ tsp. sodium chloride (non-iodized) to the mash water before mashing-in. Note that acidulated malt is included in the grist bill; mash pH following mashing-in should be about 5.4.

Mash the malts at 154°F (68°C) for 60 minutes. Start recirculating wort. Sparge slowly and collect 6.5 gallons (24.5 L) of wort. Heat to boiling and boil the wort 70 minutes, adding hops at the times indicated in the recipe. Adjust original gravity post-boil with RO water as required.

Chill the wort to 158°F (70°C), add third kettle hop addition, let steep for 10 minutes, and continue cooling wort to approximately 68˚F (20˚C). Pitch yeast, and ferment between 60 ˚F and 68˚F (15.5–20˚C) until complete.

Dry hops should be added on day 2 and day 4 of fermentation. If using hop bags for dry hopping, remove bags on day 7; if not, rack to secondary fermenter or keg equipped with spunding valve. Complete fermentation and any hop creep following dry hopping should be finished by about day 21.

Prime and bottle condition, or serve from keg if naturally conditioned during aging.

PARTIAL-MASH VERSION
4.4 lb. (2 kg) Briess Light Pilsen Dried Malt Extract
3.25 lb. (1.47 kg) Rahr Red Wheat Malt
1.5 lb. (680 g) flaked oats
1.25 lb. (567 g) sucrose @ 60 min
Perform a mini-mash with the wheat malt and flaked oats at 154°F (68°C) for 45 minutes. The steep method is suggested using a grain bag and 1.5 gallons (5.7 liters) steep water. Remove the grain bag from the steep after 45 minutes, gently pour hot water over the steep bag to improve yield, add dried malt extract, and adjust kettle volume to 6.5 gallons (25 liters). Bring to a boil and follow the remaining recipe as above.
